A Homeowner's Guide to Mold Services

What is "Mold Removal"?

This is what most unqualified handymen or painters will offer. It usually involves:

• Spraying a surface (often with bleach).
• Scrubbing or painting over the visible stain.

The Problem with This:

• Bleach is Ineffective: Bleach does not kill mold on porous surfaces like drywall or wood; it only "bleaches" the color, leaving the root structure intact.
• It Spreads Spores: Scrubbing dry mold sends millions of microscopic spores airborne, spreading the contamination to your HVAC system and other rooms.
• It Ignores the Source: It does nothing to fix the leak or high humidity that caused the mold in the first place. The mold will simply return.

What is "Mold Remediation"?

This is the professional, IICRC-standard process that we perform. It is a multi-step plan designed for safety and effectiveness.

• Step 1: Assessment: We first identify the moisture source and use professional testing (if necessary) to understand the scope.
• Step 2: Full Containment: This is critical. We use plastic sheeting and negative air-pressure machines to create a sealed "bubble" around the work area, ensuring no spores can escape.
• Step 3: Safe Removal: We safely remove all non-salvageable, mold-infested materials (like drywall) in sealed bags.
• Step 4: Deep Cleaning: We use HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial agents to clean all remaining materials, including the air itself with "air scrubbers."
• Step 5: Source Correction: We provide a plan to fix the original moisture problem (e.g., a pipe leak, poor ventilation) to ensure the mold does not come back.

Frequently Asked questions

• Is "black mold" the only dangerous kind?No. This is a common myth. While Stachybotrys ("black mold") is well-known, many different types of mold, regardless of color, can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. All mold growth should be treated professionally.
• Can you test my air for mold?Yes, we can perform air quality sampling to get a baseline of your home's spore count and to verify (post-remediation) that the air is clean.
